To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Caiaphas was wicked, few perhaps more wicked ; but he was still human : to suppose that he had even the faintest glimpse of the purpose of Divine love in Christ's death, and yet acted as he did, is to make him a monster or a fiend. Could the thought have entered his mind, that Jesus would lay down His life for the people, for His enemies, for such as Caiaphas himself, — the heart most hardened in wickedness must have turned back from its cruel cold-blooded policy. It is as much against human na...ture as against the holiness of God to suppose that the mind of Caiaphas was even touched by the Spirit of prophecy. NOT MECHANICALLY INSPIRED. 87 We thus come to another view more com- monly received, that the Holy Spirit took possession, as it were, of the man, and used him as a mere machine, putting words into his mouth, as a musician puts breath into a pipe. ' Grace, ' says Chrysostom, ^ used his mouth only, and touched not his base heart. See how great is the power of the Spirit ! Out of a wicked mind He brought forth words laden with admirable prophecy.
